Bono’s new musical project involves the dead cat which belonged to a French artist.

The U2 frontman is one of the stars who has contributed to an album in the memory of the artist’s dead cat.

Sophie Calle, a French conceptual artist, is producing an album in the memory of her late cat named Souris, which translates to “mouse” in English.

Ms Calle asked 38 musicians including Pharrell Williams and Jarvis Cocker to write a song dedicated to Souris which will be used for her latest show which opened in Paris this month, the Independent.ie reports.
